People love choosing screensavers that say something about their personality. Why? Because it’s cool to be able to choose any picture, text, or design you want to see when your monitor turns off. This is no longer an issue in modern monitors, but the screensaver is still here. The screensaver feature in Windows was originally designed to save wear and tear on the screen by creating a movement that would prevent an image from being “burned” on the screen after the monitor has been on for a while.
